Detailed Product Description

Carry all of your essential items around town for work or play in this rugged and durable backpack from The North Face. The North Face Big Shot 2 backpack is made from durable polyester, nylon, and ballistic nylon fabric and features FlexVent™ injection molded shoulder straps with a layer of foam, a padded Airmesh back panel with a spine channel and PE sheet for support, and multiple pockets for all of your most important items. This backpack has a large main compartment with a laptop sleeve, a hydration port, and an organizer panel, front vertical stash pockets, and mesh side water bottle pockets.

"Although this is billed as a laptop backpack, it is not. The main compartment zippers do not come down far enough to make it easy to get your laptop in and out, and with virtually everything stored in one giant pocket, it becomes cluttered fast. The laptop sleeve does not extend to the bottom of the pack, so anything in the main compartment will roll underneath a bit. If you put anything in the smaller, vertically zipped pockets on the front, expect them to pull the pack forward at any given moment.
This would be a decent, if unspectacular, hiking pack using the laptop compartment as a hydration bladder location (already has the equipment for that), but if you want to use it as a laptop backpack, keep looking."

"Large great for books or paperwork. not ideal for hiking. Carries a large load which is what I bought it for , but lacks in the comfort and convenience areas. an all around good bag, on the expensive side."

"i needed a backpack for work, to carry my books, laptop and otjer stuff i need, the backpack is very solid, very nice materials.My 15" laptop fits perfectly in its compartment. Color is very nice also, out of the traditional black. It has plenty of space, but its not a huge backpack. It feels pretty comfortable so far even with its full."

"This bag will fit an Apple Mac Book Pro 15 inch perfectly. Very stylish, adjustable sizing, and very comfortable (your spine will thank you). Used daily for school and recreational purpose. This bag is a bit towards the bigger end but as 5' 5", i have no problem carrying it. The material used to make this backpack is very durable and high quality. The bag itself is waterproof (in the rain). I Highly recommend this bag if you're willing to invest in a backpack that will last for years to come."

"I needed a backpack for school and work, but particularly something that would fit my 15" laptop that has a 9-cell battery, which adds almost another inch to depth. I own a Targus laptop shoulder bag that works great but the weight of the computer on one shoulder makes it a little uncomfortable for everyday use.
The awkward size of my laptop makes it a little tricky to get it in and out of the laptop sleeve. However, despite that issue I still like this bag. Most of the women's styles are a lot smaller which wouldn't fit my laptop. I'm 5 foot 6 and the bag feels very comfortable on my back and shoulders. The main compartment has enough space for my books and papers. I use the 2 front vertical pockets to store computer accessories. I use a separate bag for my lunch."

Will this bag fit my laptop?
